Champions League Takeaway: Double-Touch Penalties, Cholo's Chaos, Arsenal's 100% Chances, Asensio Shines Again & BVB Tame Dogues

Hello Rank Squad! 

It's the second of two Champions League Takeaway episodes on the feed this week, with four more games to dissect - headlined by another 120 minutes of madness, this time from Madrid, where Real needed penalties to get the better of Atleti in a game the hosts will feel aggrieved not to have won (we've heard that one before...)

We break down the chaos of the penalty shootout, including Julian Alvarez's disallowed spot kick for a double-touch, examining the rules and what exactly happened; before looking back at the game as a whole and examining some of the individual performances that caught our eye, for good and for bad.

Then in Part Two, we take a look at a heavily rotated Arsenal's 2-2 draw with PSV - it didn't matter, progression was all but guaranteed; Aston Villa's 3-0 win over Club Brugge where Marco Asensio in particular shone once again - what a signing he has been for Unai Emery's men; and a vastly improved display from Borussia Dortmund as they came from a goal behind to beat Lille in France and progress to another quarter final. 

It's Ranks! 

And remember, if you’d like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
